"Human, this is your final warning. If you do not leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range, do not blame this king for showing no mercy!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's purple flames surged across its body. Its savage maw opened wide, its pale fangs gleaming coldly.

It let out a roar, its sound waves sweeping across ten miles as the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range erupted into turmoil.

This was not due to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's own strength. Rather, at its summons, the many magical beasts within the mountain range responded in unison, forming a Beast Tide that gradually surrounded the area!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King had calculated well. These two human Dou Huangs had fought a fierce battle and would surely have suffered great losses, especially when one of them was already severely wounded!

If it stirred up the Beast Tide and managed to keep these two Dou Huang experts here, devouring their flesh would raise its strength to another level!

And if that failed, leaving just one behind would do!

"Too noisy."

Su Yun frowned slightly, impatience flashing through his eyes. As his words fell, his figure vanished from the spot.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was startled. Its beast eyes, as large as bronze bells, swept across its surroundings, yet it could not catch even a trace of Su Yun's aura.

"Get down."

An icy voice exploded beside its ear. Su Yun silently appeared at its side, and before the Amethyst Winged Lion King could react, it felt an overwhelming force slam down onto its spine!

"Aargh!"

A thunderous roar rumbled from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's throat. It refused to submit beneath a human.

The purple fire all over its body surged wildly toward Su Yun!

"Hmph!"

Emerald-green flames flickered from Su Yun's palm. Just as the purple flames were about to touch them, they shuddered violently and uncontrollably retreated into the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body!

"What?!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's pupils shrank to pinpoints. Its proud purple flames were afraid of those emerald-green flames!

"What a pitiful little flame... It might make passable firewood."

A curve rose at Su Yun's lips as Dou Qi erupted from his palm.

"Boom—!"

A thunderous blast shook the heavens and earth. The Amethyst Winged Lion King's enormous body crashed down like a meteor, smashing a massive crater dozens of zhang wide into the ground as dust filled the entire area.

"His strength, his speed... even his Dou Qi have improved. Was he holding back earlier?"

Ling Ying instinctively rejected that guess. He could not think of any reason for Su Yun to hold back against him. Perhaps this man had only just awakened and had not yet fully adjusted to his own strength when they fought.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King braced itself on all fours and tried to climb out of the deep crater, but it simply could not. Its beast eyes were filled with terror, while a hair-raising sound of bones cracking came from its spine.

That strike had directly broken its spine!

The magical beasts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range charged over, only to see their king effortlessly beaten to the ground. For a moment, none knew whether they should press forward.

Below the Amethyst Winged Lion King, there were three other Fifth-Order Magical Beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Now thoroughly frightened, they turned and fled without looking back.

"Now that This Sect Master has returned to this world, I still lack attendants at my side. Little lion, are you willing to become This Sect Master's mount?"

"This Sect Master..."

Shock flashed in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes. Could this human have been a Dou Zong expert at his peak?!

But it was unwilling to lose its freedom from this day forth and be driven by another.

Struggle appeared on the Amethyst Winged Lion King's face.

"Very well. Such matters cannot be forced."

Su Yun gathered poison flames in his palm once more. Their violent power made even the void tremble.

"Wait, this king... I, I am willing!"

Under the threat of death, the Amethyst Winged Lion King finally lowered its noble head.

"A wise man submits to circumstances."

Su Yun chuckled. A Sixth-tier Magical Beast would barely do to bolster his appearance.

"Boom!"

The poison flames in Su Yun's palm did not disperse. Instead, they began to compress, turning into a dragon-eye-sized pellet. With a push of his hand, the poison flame burrowed into the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body and hovered beside its heart.

Su Yun said coldly, "If you ever harbor thoughts of betrayal, this flame will explode within you and burn out your heart meridians, killing you."

"Yes, Master..."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King had no choice.

"Senior, now that matters here are settled, we will take our leave first."

Xiao Yan spoke, unwilling to remain in the Magical Beast Mountain Range any longer. He still had many questions to ask Ling Ying beside him.

"Go."

The two figures quickly disappeared into the distance. Su Yun turned his gaze toward Xiao Yi Xian and asked with a light smile, "What is your name?"

"My name is Xiao Yi Xian. Teacher can call me Xian'er."

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were full of adoration.

"Your teacher has only recently awakened, and in this world a thousand years later, I do not yet have a place to stay..."

Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly said, "Teacher, come with me to Qingshan Town. I live there. I hope Teacher will not find it too humble."

"Mm, for now, that will do."

Su Yun looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King again. "I will give you three days to deal with your injuries and affairs. Come see me in three days."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was, after all, the overlord of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and it had some transfer of authority to handle.

Besides, it still had to decide how to settle the young Amethyst Winged Lion in its lair.

"Yes!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King answered meekly.

Qingshan Town was a frontier town on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Its largest power was the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, where Mu Li belonged.

Mu Li had already died at Su Yun's hands. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group would certainly not let the matter rest, but Su Yun could hardly be bothered to care.

Xiao Yi Xian busied herself personally, having the maids tidy up a room that looked fairly neat.

"My humble home is simple. I have wronged Teacher."

In her mind, someone as powerful as Su Yun must have lived somewhere extravagant in the past.

Su Yun smiled. "A thousand years ago, a family from the Central Plains invited me to become their Supreme Elder. Their residence was luxurious, and they offered incomparably generous terms, yet before this room, it seemed to lack sincerity."

Ding.

Your lie made Xiao Yi Xian believe it completely. It has been judged as a casual fabrication. You have received 100 Truth Points.

Remaining Truth Points: 100604

Xiao Yi Xian's heart was sweet.

Teacher praised me!

"You may leave for now."

"Yes."

Su Yun sat alone in the room, finally finding the time to sort through what he had gained this time.

"System, display my panel."

Name: Su Yun Gender: Male Cultivation: Nine-Star Dou Huang Alchemy: Peak Sixth-grade Alchemist Physique: Woeful Poison Body Cultivation Method: None Dou Skill: None Truth Points: 100604

"I spent five years preparing this lie, and the gains were gratifying as well. Dou Huang cultivation, Sixth-grade Alchemist, Woeful Poison Body... It could be called ascending to the heavens in a single step!

"But there are still shortcomings..."

This was easy to see from the panel.

That was right. Su Yun currently did not possess a single cultivation method or Dou Skill!

The formidable combat strength he had displayed before had relied entirely on his cultivation, poison body, and Heavenly Flames!

"I need to think of a way."

Su Yun sank into thought.

There was actually a very easy solution: spend Truth Points to directly manifest them.

Truth Points could only be obtained by lying and making others believe the lie completely. They were incredibly versatile.

They could manifest anything Su Yun desired, including but not limited to cultivation methods, Dou Skills, physiques, cultivation, pills, Heavenly Flames...

But if he manifested something from nothing without using a lie as a medium, the cost would be enormous...
